As many as 55 storage units across Omaha are up for auction the next few days at Milt’s Mini Storage. Crews with Auction Solutions open each storage unit, then auction off what's inside piece by piece.

“I would just assume buy it all as one unit and then take your chances. It adds to the adventure a little bit,” said Joe Keightley.

Owners of the units have passed away, moved or failed to pay the rent, forfeiting their ownership rights to the items inside. Mark Beacom with Auction Solutions said it’s a thrill not knowing what lies behind closed doors.

“It's finding buried treasure. It's something you can get, something you don't expect, that's really what it is. We opened one up one time and found a Jaguar, found a 2010 Harley-Davidson a couple years ago,” Beacom said.

Milt’s will be auctioning off more units through Friday. The auction starts at 9 a.m. each morning and last until all listed locations are complete.
